What would you think of Meta (Facebook) allowing bets in the metaverse

[l3pox]

I have a positive attitude to the development of the metaverse, because it is a completely new trend which is inspired by new technologies. I don't know how quickly gambling will be integrated into the metaverse but it will happen anyway.

It seems to me that gambling will not be added to Meta right away because Mark Zuckerberg does not want to attract the attention of regulators.

well, with the size and importance the company has right now it's not like they can make a move without the regulators noticing
that's why Libra, the facebook currency was not released

but I bet Zuck still didn't gave up on an idea like that.

Maybe the reason behind that is they are going to put it all out in the Metaverse. I've done some research about it and rebranding their name into "Metaverse" is something we could look forward to, since it's about like virtual reality thingy that could make us feel that we definitely near in the future we are watching in movies, you know A.I technology and other amazing stuff.

However, as the technology move forwards, it's kinda creepy and alarming at some point, in my opinion. Facebook is about socializing people around the world but since they are promoting a lot of stuff, they plan to make it big and the name "facebook" doesn't suit it anymore.

It's gonna make sense if the meta will have a space for betting. Meta or Facebook is a social media community which accommodate millions of users. Some of this users would find betting interesting to all participate. I will be glad if there will be a space for betting in meta.

I'm sure that there would be millions of users who will participate in this because Facebook has a huge community. I just hope that they wouldn't let users fall into betting or should I say gambling addiction. However, if they would launch meta, there's still nothing to doubt of fear because Facebook has been trusted for over the years.

Metaverse is going to be a huge community, I don't think it'll hurt Metaverse if they'll implement a casino instended for gamblers, also, as part of moderation, I think Metaverse will set rules for casinos for users to avoid addiction and for kids not to be influenced at an early age, this is a good idea but I think this will be later on implemented afaik Metaverse is more focused on other aspects such as NFT, and other more.

Big if true. If facebook comes with its own built in casino, that would be very bad news for the other online casinos. Why risk you money with other casinos when there is a government sponsored available?

But I am not sure if it is going to happen because online gambling is a very touch subject in the US and they probably won't allow that kind of stuff on meta.

If gambling is a completely separate project, what are the advantages over existing and reputable projects? This is unknown. If gambling is built into the Meta, then this will entail strict regulation for the entire Meta (even the ban of online access in some states), so I do not think that this will happen, since the losses from this will be greater than the profits.

Some people will prefer the regulated casinos over the unregulated ones because they'll think that if something goes wrong, the department of justice will make it right eventually. You can't do that kind of stuff with the unregulated casinos. They may just take away your money and show you the door. Sure, they'll lose reputation but that didn't stop 1xbit, as you see they are still up and running.

Their goal of rebranding is to create something new because Facebook is often misused by some people so that its image is getting worse and worse.
and it's a pretty good thing with reorganizing and creating new things in the metaverse.
but for the bet there, I don't think there will be too many people's lyrics because now things like this have been circulating everywhere.
In fact, I think something like that will make their image worse in some circles.

It will be  another source in generating money for the company. My worried is that it will be too exposed to young people below 18, I'm aware very young people do Facebook. If at all it occurs in  meta it should be regulated strickly . I'm happy for it at least I can earn some cool fund.

Do you mean the Russian scam project 1xbet (and all its numerous clones)? In fact, I wonder how it is still alive - it has an extremely negative reputation who has ever come across him, but massive aggressive advertising is apparently capable of attracting many new users, so they continue their activities.
It would be interesting for me to look at Meta's gambling project only in one sense - I see that there are players who turn out to be in the black, for example, when sport betting, and I would like to know how Meta will fight with such pros who will beat them.

Still there's some rules and regulation with it we know that now with the facebook they are fully aware with the activity like gambling contents and some of them giving restrictions but if this kind of metaverse might adopt this hits different users experience that most of the people due to quarantine will enjoy the life like they are in the different world with customize characters and enjoy the gambling even though they are in their homes.
